Winsock: Windows networking programming in C++

Question

I need books that truely explian sockets in windows in C++ ive been looking at tutorials but they dont tell what anything means they dont go into great detail so i need come books on Winsock in C++ for windows

Answer 1

This is by far the best, most up to date book on the subject: Network Programming for Microsoft Windows. One of the nice things about this book is that is shows the range of styles from blocking sockets to completion ports.

Answer 2

This textbook is a little bit outdated and it's not Windows specific, however it does cover sockets indepth: Unix Network Programming, Volume 1. Winsock is Microsoft's take on Berkeley Sockets, so most of the functions in the textbook will work in Winsock as well.

Hope this helps :).
